Hello all. I take a long time to update. Sorry. Also I realized as a came back to this story, just how unrealistic it is in terms of... well everything. However, it is still enjoyable to write. So that's that. Here's chapter 14:


"Where do I begin?" Maura paused, thinking. "I first knew I fell in love with Jane when we went out for dinner the first time." Jane thought about when she knew. She decided that it was the minute she heard the ME speak. Her major quirkiness combined with her genius of a mind, caused Jane to fall almost immediately.

"She's a genius, too. A real one. She's the most caring person you'll ever meet. And she's... she's. Everything." Jane intervened, attempting to do her justice. Angela laughed.

"What's funny?" Maura asked.

"It's just that seeing my Janie all mushy makes me laugh..." Angela said, collecting herself. She truly believed that her daughter was almost, if not already over her past demons, as much as she possibly could be.

"Hmm. That is funny, I guess." Maura thought, then continued. "Anyway. I grew up around Europe, and attended a boarding school in France for the majority of my school years. Then got my MD, and then got a job in Los Angeles." Maura summed up the best she could.

"Wow, Europe. That must have been incredible." Angela was amazed.

"Well, It did have its... perks." Maura said, purposely staying vague.

Knowing that it was a... sensitive topic for her, Jane stepped in, "Then she met me and made me the luckiest woman who ever lived and blah blah blah."

"Aw." Maura said, stroking Jane's arm for a second. "Very funny Jane." For a while, the three of them spoke. Jane realized just how much it mattered to her that her mom was in her life again. Visiting Boston made her see that change really did happen. She went and pretended to be the person she needed to be.

Then she met Maura and her needs changed. It was great and all, but she ran away from her problems. It was unlike her. But it brought her to Maura. That day, she spent showing Maura around her hometown was great to her. For her.

Admittedly though, it was strange having no cop or detective status as she toured around 'her city'. She was experiencing Boston as a tourist, only she knew the city by heart. Later, the two ended up once again with Jane's family, and friends. The couple were to leave the next day. She thought about stopping by the station one last time, but decided not to.

"It was really nice seeing you, Jane." Frankie said, hugging his sister goodbye.

"You too, little brother. I missed you." The rest of the gang followed suit, all giving their goodbyes. Internally, they all had a fear of never seeing their... Jane Rizzoli again, but they knew that she'd never lose touch with them on purpose. Soon, Angela and Korsak were the only ones left.

Korsak intended to be able to privately speak with Jane, and once she picked up on it, Jane said to her mother, "Ma, why don't you and Maura go talk to each other while Korsak and I chat for a bit?" Both women complied, and headed towards the kitchen. Over a cup of tea, they... exchanged conversation about a certain detective.

Korsak looked at Jane. "I'm glad you came to visit." He was. He understood why she left, as he understood why Jane got a new partner instead of him. It's just how it goes with Jane Rizzoli, and he's one of the few people that have come to terms with it.

"Me too, Korsak. How's it going here?" Jane asked, secretly glad he was taking the time to talk to her.

"It's going. I don't know what to tell you really. Cooper is a solid detective. I really just wanted to see how you are doing. How you have been." Her mentor repeated, and then she understood.

"Different. I mean, Maura. I am dating somebody, and she's a woman. I swear, it's been... crazy. But. I am doing fine. Well even. I am slowly getting to where I wanted to be" Jane responded.

"And where is that exactly?" He truly had no idea what she was referring to. He could think of so many things. She paused. Hesitated. She didn't know.

"Uh..." She fumbled, both in speech and mentally.

"It's alright." He added.

"No, I'll tell you. At first I left with the intent to get over him, then to come back here to Boston. But... then I met her, and suddenly, I don't want to... come home. Hell I'm willing to call wherever she is home." Jane honestly spoke.

Korsak smiled. "You got it bad."

Jane playfully hit his arm. "Hey this is serious!"

"I know. I'm glad you're doing well. Remember, that there's always a spot for you here in Boston. But, I'm glad to see you're happy. You deserve it, Jane." Korsak thoughtfully said. "I've gotta go. Keep in touch."

"Thanks Vince. Always. I'll try at least." Jane said, watching him leave. Still, her thoughts of their conversation lingered. She still didn't know where she wanted to be at all. Well she did. She wanted to go home. Only, she couldn't decide where that was exactly.


Thanks.
